Notes

*first time played
**with If I Only Had a Brain tease by Sweney
***with Eye of the Tiger tease
****with Jingle Bells tease at the end of Sweney's jam

Note: This show can fit on two discs by starting disc 2 with d2t06. I tracked it for three discs as to not break up any of the segues.

After unsuccessfully searching for a better source for this show for years, I finally transfered my analog copy of it to shn because I feel it's an amazing show that needs to be heard. You can definitely tell there's analog in the lineage, but it's still a pretty solid recording.

Known flaws:
- verse 1 of Surround cut
-Tape flip after the end of Through Hiker (no music missing)
-The rest of the show after the end of Through Hiker might possibly be from a different source, as there is a difference in sound quality from this point on (possibly a generation older than the rest)
-empty space cut between last song and encore

Thank you for taping this and posting it to be enjoyed by countless others who might have missed this gem of an era unlike myself who was very likely front and center the entire show. I couldn't remember any details now, but I know it was the time of my life!. Thank you for the memory

Subject: VIPER

amazing show. great little Dave sandwich and then Ed sandwich, then probably the best Viper ever and it ends with Sweney singing on crossroads.

Subject: Best show ever?

This is definately in the top five ekoostik hookah shows in my opinion. Been to a hundred shows, listened to a ton of shows, and this show gets me off like nearly no other hookah show!

Subject: sweetly insane

a bit of analog sound doesnt even matter. this show is so sweet yet so insane you dont even get phased by the "air" in the recording. i award it 5 stars because you deserve this show. it is worth having if only to turn someone else on to hookah. dig

Many fans (myself included) think of 12-28-97 as the best Hookah show ever. Everything just seemed to click this night at the Odeon. The first set had a pretty solid group of songs, including a somewhat rare Under Full Sail, the first Roller Coaster, and a nice Streetbeater to top it off.

The second set is where the magic happened though. The segueways pulled during this set were simply out of this world. Here Today>Keepin Time>Rocketman>Grass>Keepin Time jam>King of the Hill Theme>Amazing Grace>Keepin Time>Gone Tomorrow is still to this day my favorite piece of Ekoostik Hookah to listen to. Also the Through Hiker>Float>Through Hiker sandwhich works really well, but I've never seen them do it again since this date.

To top off an amazing second set, the encore starts with a crazy Cliff cover called Good Bunch of Biscuits, which segues into Clapton's Crossroads, which Sweney sings (something else that's pretty rare). Needless to say, everyone left the Odeon in high energy this night. Even though there's a little analog in the lineage (the only reason I can't give it 5 stars) I think any Hookah fan would be very happy to have this show in their collection.
